Flying high in the sky is Supergirl running the world on CBS

We are living now in a golden age of television for minorities right now. It’s amazing to see lead characters across the board where everyone can identify with all of these characters on television.   The women we see now are independent, fierce, well -educated, highly functional, quick thinkers. Let’s take for example, Olivia Pope, Annaliese Keating, Meredith Grey , and Alex Parrish who appear on “Scandal”, “How to get away with murder”, “Grey’s Anatomy” , and “Quantico”.Loretha “Cookie” Lyon played by Taraji P. Henson who appears on  “Empire” and now we even have a new “Supergirl” for the ages featured on CBS.    We are living in age of women where strong roles exist and there isn’t just the stereotypical role of being a housewife, raising children, and managing household duties. Women have evolved completely since the 1950s and now in the second decade of the millennium they are making a true mark for themselves. I love how now we have roles for all women in television today. 

Now enter the new butt-kicking heroine of the millennial generation. The timing couldn’t be more perfect for young women to have someone to aspire and look up to right now. I personally would love one day to have a little girl of my own. I want her to have positive role models around her the same way I did. I looked up and still admire women like Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, so many women from all over the world I look to for strength and inspiration. You get a sense of that from this show. To have a show like this for young women today show’s them that you are truly capable of anything out there. You wonder how does the woman who has everything balance it all? It takes time, sacrifice, patience, strength physically, and tolerance. You have to know what you’re willing to give up too.  Enter in Supergirl the series aired back in October starring Melissa Benoist, Calista Flockhart, and Mehcad Brooks. The show is featured around a modern day age where Supergirl returns to Earth to give her mission and help save lives.

Look at Supergirl aka Kara Zor El she has to balance working for a prominent magazine and save the world when disaster strikes at any second. She has to be a dedicated employee and also follow through to save the world. Any show that has that powerful message I am 100 percent behind.  Just like in real life women figure out a way to time manage

You know I am about girl power so keep up the amazing job CBS and keep the hit shows coming. For more information on “Supergirl” the comic series, television show visit these two sites. http://www.cbs.com and http://www.marvel.com

 

 

 

American Idol Farewell Season: 2016

The final curtain will go down on American Idol for 2016 there have been 15 seasons since 2002 of American Idol broadcasted live in homes across the country. The show that paved the way for many breakout stars who have auditioned. The show originally found in the U.K. will close the chapter on a huge musical history impact one that has changed and shaped the way the music industry has handled all of their bands, musicians, new artists, and more established artists as well. Do you remember the first time you saw the hit show make it’s debut. Artists like Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Kelly Pickler, Phillip Phillips, Jordin Sparks, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert, and all of their runner-up competitors as well as the millions of fans who have waited in line to audition have graced the audition rooms and stage. We have seen the show expand, grow from an new infancy and grow into a well- established brand.  The show has found a way to allow musicians to connect with their fans instantaneously. Not just via social media but even coming in person to mentor, challenge, assist, and give every single fan advice, mentoring, and grooming each of them to be ready for the stage.

The show has become like a stepping stone to a music industry factory, first you have a the artist learn what it takes to work in a group and then you give them a chance to develop themselves as solo artist all over a 3-4 month process. Some parts of the show are pre-taped which usually includes all auditions. I personally used to look forward to them all and enjoyed seeing the fans find a way to show the judges what their talents are really made of as well. All of the people around the world have an opportunity to connect to these real life people auditioning. I love how they give each person a chance to tell their story, you can relate to them on a personal level.  The American idol competitors stories pulling at your heartstrings and also giving you inspiration, hope, and anticipation on who would be the next winner. I love several stories the one of a young teen or twenty-something mother who auditions on the show to follow her dream. The young man working as a barista in a café trying to support his family wants to give his family a better life and chases his dreams, the eccentric showstopper who has a powerhouse voice.  The young man or woman who may have a physical disability or mental disability but still pushes themselves to get in front of three or four judges to prove that they can sing as well. All of these stories resonate with people around the world.  I believe each artist has made a name for themselves truly and have also found a way to keep themselves in the spotlight as well. Who knew that is what it takes to have musicians hands on with their real life fans.

I remember the first time hearing a song by Kelly Clarkson “The trouble with love is…” in the movie “Love Actually” (2003) and just knowing wow that woman can sing, all she had to do was audition.  I even bought her album, “Breakaway” which I still have too. I wish I bought all the others but I promise I have heard all of your music either online or the radio as well. The next artist who I really have come to love and became a fan of her story is truly inspirational was Jennifer Hudson , her story touches my heart cause you see that no matter where a person comes from they can rise to success.  No matter what challenges, obstacles, you can rise above again and again.

Past Contestants from American Idol winners

Nick Fradiani the last winner in 2015 

Now let’s discuss some of the judges who have gone from three to four including every celebrity judge known in many homes.  Do you all remember Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, Mariah Carey,  Harry Connick Jr., Keith Urban, and Nicki Minaj have just been some of the judges who have graced the American Idol stage. All of these people have gone on to mentor and assist every contestant who has auditioned and entertains their viewers too as well. Some have even created controversy which increased ratings too. So we will see what the future will bring with this farewell season but I have a feeling it’s going to be really huge. Stay tuned and we will see what happens very soon. For more information I suggest you visit http://www.fox.com, http://www.itunes.com, so you keep up with everything going on this year ahead. Also for a good refresher too. You know just personally there's an artist who I love who has not really been acknowledged too much but he is an incredible songwriter and singer who I would love to see some of the contestants sing his songs and get mentored. Just a suggestion...what about Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Just someone I would love to see on American Idol. It's a few other people too but I would love to see him as well mentoring. Maybe Faith Hill, Shania Twain, it's a lot of artists who I believe would make good mentors and assist with the contestants. 

We did it 100,000 page views and counting !!!

Thank you to all my readers without all of you I am just a young woman walking around with a backpack and her laptop for nothing. As you know you are what keep me going to keep me writing.This blog as many of you know means so much to me I told you all on it's birthday celebration (Oct. 21st) it is like my firstborn. I have to spend and invest a lot of time, patience, attention, care, love, and make sure it is absolutely perfect in every single detail the way I want it to be. Each and everyone of you helped me achieve my goal for the blog 100,000 plus page views.
